Finch’s – an amazing tea and coffee house in downtown Vancouver. Haven’t been? Make it your business to go. This place makes sandwiches that can’t even be called sandwiches. I think it would be more accurate to call them “works of mouthwatering art”. I only had a few chances to eat here, but if I was living in Vancouver again it’s safe to say that a lot of my money would be spent at this place.

While I have somewhat recreated my favourite sandwich from Finch’s, I’ve decided to take that sandwich recipe and leave out the bread which has resulted in this amazing salad.

If you can’t get to Finch’s, this may be the best alternative.

Step 1: Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust the ingredients to suit your taste, if it’s too strong add a few tablespoons of water. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
ENJOY!

Well Barcelona, you win. I didn’t eat ALL of your food, but I’ll be back for more.

I’ve been to Barcelona once before so I didn’t do very much site seeing. This time it was all about the food (and beer). Spanish people definitely know how to do food right and I was there to take advantage of that. Here are a few pictures of my favorite meals.
